Situated at the eastern end of [[Crona]], the Cape is located on the plains of southern Crona and the Peninsular Cronan Highlands extending from [[Mount Paektu]]. The country totals 2,335,077 kilometres squared, making it the 12th largest country in the world. The south is dominated by open, temperate lands, manifest in the [[Cape Peninsula]], [[Cebek]], and the Janusar area as arable plains and elsewhere as {{wp|savannah}}. These plains are permeated with rolling hills, and in the Cape Peninsula, surrounded by ~~with~~ {{wp|escarpments}}. The central north is primarily composed of highlands and mountains. The nation's highest point, the {{wp|dormant volcano}} of Mount Paektu, is contained within. Dividing the north and south is the [[Pretoria River]] and its watershed, which flows westward from the mountains of the north and the hills of the south into the [[Songun Sea]]. Almost the entirety of the non-peninsular south ~~lays~~ within its drainage basin. The {{wp|tropical rainforest}}s of Palastra, fed by the Jet Stream, extends into the Cape's northeast.

===Climate===

The Cape is situated ~~at the~~ south of the subtropical climate zone, although the oceans and the Songun ~~providee~~ a more continental and temperate climate to coastal areas. Owing to its subtropical positioning, its climate remains relatively stable throughout the year. It has two seasons - roughly corresponding to a moderate summer and a moderate winter. Average temperatures in the north ranges from 31.1°C in July to 2°C in February, while temperatures along the southern coast of the nation range from 28.3°C in July to 14.1°C in February.

The Cape has a {{wp|social market economy}} with a skilled labour force and a low level of corruption. It is among the most developed economies in [[Crona]], having experienced rapid GDP growth in the mid-1990s as a function of foreign investment following political reform. The nation’s GDP growth has now slowed to approximately 5% annually, with the country’s {{wp|tertiary sector}} now fuelling growth in comparison to its {{wp|primary sector|primary}} and {{wp|secondary sector}}s. The country’s {{wp|mixed economy}} has ranked highly in economic freedom since democratization and features an “above average” {{wp|household disposable income}} in the Eastern Hemisphere. The Cape is a party to a variety of free-trade and customs agreements, most prominently with [[Faneria]] and [[Kiravia]]. The [[Cape Town Stock Exchange]] is the largest in Crona by {{wp|market capitalization}}.

Once directed by a variety of {{wp|state-owned enterprise}}s, the Capetian economy is now comprised of primarily private businesses and worker-owned {{wp|cooperative}}s - although the now-divested state-owned corporations continue to dominate the country’s primary and secondary sectors. Of these corporations, [[Cape Automotive Corporation]] and [[Natrol]], rank as the largest and most internationally prominent - leading the Cape’s sizeable automotive and natural resource exploitation industries.

Other industries such as {{wp|banking}}, {{wp|financial services}}, and {{wp|shipping}} contribute heavily to national GDP. Due to its location between [[Alshar]] and the Occident, the Cape is the 7th largest trading entity measured by imports and exports - primarily due to the transshipment industry.

===Infrastructure===

[[File:Øresund Bridge from the air in September 2015.jpg|thumb|left|250px|The [[Atl I-Kalma Fixed Link]] connecting [[Etzil]] and the Cape.]

Personal transportation is dominated by the automobile, which operates on 1.9 million kms of public roadway. Of these kilometres, 4,126 of them are {{wp|controlled-access highways|controlled-access}}. These highways criss-cross the country in the form of the [[Cape National Highway]] system, supplanted by a variety of provincially operated “trails” and municipally maintained expressways. The Capetian highway system connects to [[Etzil]] through the second-longest {{wp|bridge-tunnel}} in the world, the [[Atl I-Kalma Fixed Link]].

The bridge carries two tracks serviced by [[Cape National Railways]] in a {{wp|higher-speed rail}} service that connects every major city in the country. A {{wp|high-speed rail|high-speed}} line between Cape Town and [[Pretoria]] is currently under construction. Suburban {{wp|commuter rail}} and {{wp|s-train}} services are prominent across the Cape, although urban {{wp|rapid transit}} systems such as Cape Town’s [[KabosaRT]] remain rare.

In 2020 there were 87 airports in the Cape, 11 of them being international.
